Thanks for the suggestions well more has been revealed. I cut the sequence into an existing sequence and I found that depending on where in the time line I cut in the lifted alpha track the clip would either be okay or wrong format. I tried putting it over filler and clips and a variety of combinations but at a certain point in the timeline the clip would become wrong format. I then created a new sequence and cut this new combo sequence into it and voila no more wrong format. This reminds me of the confusion I've seen in 23.98 projects when you toggle to sd and capture a clip and then toggle back to HD and keep working then when you want to decompose the SD clips you just captured the avid doesn't see them as needing to be modified from the 30 frame offline clip to a new 23.98 HD clip needing capture. The solution in that case is to create a new sequence while in SD cut the existing sequence in and then modify to HD and it sees the SD clips as needing to be modified. Wierd stuff it's not like this is for a live show Wednesday night or anything.... oh wait it is, guess I better just crank up too 11 and proceed.

Usually putting a submaster effect over the clip and rendering fixes it. This time I can option c the alpha and see it in the source monitor fine. When I cut it into the time line I get wrong format and the submaster render doesn't work. I've found I can step in and mark the alpha channel track/clip and create a video mix down and that works. My question is why isn't the submaster render approach working. This is SNDX 4.0.5 Mac OS 10.5.6. Anybody got a reason for this less than typical behavior?
